The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"As a professional halberd chef, I allow you to question my qualifications. Let's have a sumo duel here. After I win, I can try cooking again!" Liu Subaru said with a smile.

"Huh! The people at Chanko Hotpot Research Club are really timid enough to let an'outsider' come forward, and if this'outsider' is willing to shame for'Sangyan', I have nothing to say." Erina Leng Snorted.

Kotohira couldn't help but want to say something, but was stopped by Hao Tian Lin and said to Erina: "The Chanko Hot Pot Research Club chose to invite Pleiades Liu's classmate to "Shiji". It has been approved by the Shiji Management Association, and Liu Subaru Classmate, indeed just joined Xiangyan!"

This time, I challenged the top ten in the name of "Sumo Hot Pot Research Society". It is different from the last time Liu Maoxing and Yu Mei’s jijishi. The last time Shijiji was essentially initiated by the two in their own name, but "cover Fan Research Society is only willing to pay for the bargaining chip.

But this time it was named "Xiangyan", so Liu Subaru, in name, temporarily joined Xiangyan...

Hao Tian Lin and Erina signed the contract of eating halberd under the notarization of the Food Halberd Administration Bureau, and then the accompanying staff left the scene.

When he was about to leave the field, Haotian Lin whispered: "Please come afterwards!"

Kawashima Rei also announced at the right time: "Then, now, please enter their respective cooking stations...' Chanko Hot Pot Research Society' will face the halberd of the'Ten Best Tenth Seat' with the theme of'Shrimp Cuisine'... Now Officially begin!"

The audience is still in surprise when it comes to changing players, but most of the audience is still not optimistic about Liu Subaru. Although he has beaten Yu Mei once, Yu Mei and Erina are definitely not a level existence!

For annuals, "Nagiri Erina" is like a god, and Liu Subaru is the blasphemer...

In particular, there are still some students who were slapped in the face unintentionally by Liu Subaru for various reasons, and at this time they also grudged him.

Words such as "self-effort" and "strike a rock with a pebble" are constantly being uploaded from the audience.

Actually, Liu Maoxing didn’t know them either. They were just wishful thinking. They always slandered Liu Maoxing. Later, following the duel with Yu Mei and the performance in class, they felt like being beaten in the face. In fact, they wanted Being slapped in the face, Liu Subaru has no time to bother...

Liu Subaru naturally shielded all these "murmurs" in his head. At this time, he and Erina used the common seasonings and basic ingredients provided by the Food Bureau, as well as the ingredients to be used.

The former assistants of the two parties all brought up a small box. Among them, Erina's assistant, Fei Shao, only carried a live seafood box to support, and Liu Maoxing’s side, Hao Tianlin and Qin Guangxi, except for the same seafood box. , And a wooden storage box...

When the two sides opened the seafood box, a close-up was shown on the big screen of the venue.

Both parties chose fresh shrimps as their cooking ingredients. There were a few shrimps cruising flexibly in the seafood storage box, which was obviously very energetic.

The body and head of the shrimp selected by Erina looked similar to ordinary sea prawns, only a little larger, but the two front claws were extraordinarily slender, almost as long as the shrimp's body!

"That's... Norwegian langoustine?" Ryoko recognized the ingredients used by the other party.

Shaner pushed his glasses and said, "Yes, it is also called'Berlin Bay Spoon Finger Shrimp' and'Norwegian Lobster'. Although it looks similar to ordinary sea prawns in body and head, it belongs to the lobster category. It is located in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. , Survival on the seabed in the Mediterranean, Western European countries are used to it as a food ingredient."

"Huh? Ah Xing's is..." At this time everyone also saw the ingredients Liu Subaru had chosen.

Compared with "Norwegian langoustine", which is invisible to lobster at first glance, Liu Maoxing’s selection of ingredients is very "open and honest". The individual size of the Norwegian langoustine from Rina is completely red. The body and body shape are cylindrical, there is a pair of huge front claws, and the tail also has a huge tail fan. Obviously it is the most common lobster...the big lobster!

"This... should be Dongshan lobster, one of the more common large lobsters, and the most common large lobster in East Asia." Shaner said.

"Really! It's a bit inferior in terms of expectation! The guys from'Sangyan' can't find more attractive ingredients?" Yuuhime said dissatisfied.

In the eyes of ordinary people, large lobsters may be considered as more delicate ingredients, but in the eyes of the old diners who can serve as the judges of "Food Halberd", there is nothing new...

Especially this time because there were ten outstanding people participating in the food halberd, the lineup of judges was more luxurious than when Liu Subaru and Yu Mei competed last time. Among the three judges are "Kawabaraki Hiroshi" and Oedo Seafood, who have a net worth of tens of billions of water. The editor-in-chief of cooking magazine "Nari Kaili", and the head chef of Sawaguchi Sashimi restaurant "Sawaguchi Yuhiko".

Sure enough, the three judges frowned slightly at this time. Although Liu Subaru had been famous throughout his life before, no one recognized him after he was in Yuanyue.

Originally, the judges who had some expectations for Yuanyue’s veteran club "Sumo Hotpot Research Society" were somewhat resistant to Liu Subaru's representative appearance, and now they see the uncreative Dongshan Lobster.

"I remember when I was in junior high school,'Xiangyan' was also a big group with ten outstanding people. It should be Ah Xing who chose this big lobster, or choose to trust him!" Isshiki said.

When Liu Subaru opened the wooden box, the judges who had been disappointed before raised their eyebrows slightly.

I saw that the wooden box was actually filled with water, but it was not that there was any seafood in it, but it was soaking dry goods!

For "dry goods", pre-processed foods that take a long time and have no high technical content are allowed to be prepared in advance.

And now Liu Subaru's wooden box contains dry goods that have been soaked!

At this time, bamboo fungus, chicken fir paste, phoenix mushroom, matsutake, hericium, and boletus are being fished out in the same way. The wooden box is still two layers, and the bottom layer is not "dry goods", but There are roots and stems such as sweet potato, yam, burdock etc...

"En? What is that green dish?" Yuu Ji asked in doubt.

Ordinarily, as the elite academy of Yuanyue Academy, there should not be such a situation where the name of the vegetable cannot be recognized...

Marui Zenji watched for a long time, and then said: "That shouldn't be a cultivated vegetable, but a kind of'wild vegetables'.'Asparagus' grows only in mountainous areas with high altitude and high rainfall..."

"Wild vegetables?" Yu Ji frowned and became even more confused.

The treatment of wild vegetables and game can be different. The latter mostly refers to wild or semi-wild animal ingredients, which have a different taste and umami from highly poultry meat. But for wild vegetables...in the upper-grade cuisine, There are still relatively few applications!

After Liu Maoxing fished out the dry goods, the two sides began to treat the shrimp almost at the same time. At this time, both sides chose to peel the shrimp raw.

It is said that when peeling the shrimp raw, it is most convenient to freeze it for a while and then peel it. With the size of "Norwegian langoustine", it is also possible to do this, but in order to ensure the taste, Erina chose fresh shrimp.

Moreover, this is not a trouble for Erinai. Take out the small carving knife from the kitchenware, and see a "Norwegian sea crayfish" flipped in his hand and turned into a complete Norwegian shrimp. meat……

On the other hand, Liu Subaru is in the shape of double knives. His right hand is a deboning knife commonly used when opening lobster shells, but his left hand is a small paring knife!

The paring knife, which is usually used for fine processing of fruits and vegetables, was used by Liu Maoxing on lobsters...

Pleiades Liu once again demonstrated his amazing knife skills. He used both hands to insert a paring knife into some joints to fix it, and a deboning sharp knife to pry open the hard shell of the lobster!

The combination of the two is just right. The paring knife always cuts into the position where the deboning knife needs the most force. A few times the shrimp shell on the back of Dongshan lobster has been completely opened...

After that, the "active" and "slave" of the left and right hands were switched, and the lobster was fixed on the unblade side of the deboning knife.

In ancient times, there was "pao Ding Jie Niu", which emphasized "to enter the room with no thickness", but in fact, kitchen knives cannot be "no thickness". No matter how sharp the blade is, there is thickness. On the contrary, "the room" in meat is not good. Sure, so the kitchen knife can't blindly pursue "no thickness", otherwise it will not only be inconvenient, but also easy to break.

The paring knife is a typical knife that is not suitable for cutting meat. Not only does it not work well, but also has to roll the blade in a few strokes. However, in the hands of Liu Subaru, it seems that this "no thickness enters the space" has been brought to the extreme. When the paring knife can't handle it, the deboning knife will become "active" again...

After a whole lobster is peeled, the lobster meat can still be seen to be the shape of a lobster, and because the lobster is compact, it is slightly larger than the removed lobster shell!

Being able to peel raw lobster meat into this shape, the three judges couldn’t help but become more interested when they saw it. Especially Sawaguchi, who runs a sashimi restaurant, couldn’t help but say: "If someone in my family has this kind of knife skills, I must To add a performance project, let him peel the lobster meat in front of the guests. This cut-off list looks like a treat!"

"Editor-in-chief Cheng Hai, last time your magazine had a report on a seafood knife master in Hokkaido. I wonder how the knife skills compare to the boy in front of me?" Kawaragi asked.

"That master swordsman... shouldn't be able to do it either! But how well this student handles several kinds of seafood and other seafood is still unknown." Cheng Hai said after thinking about it.

But even so, there is no doubt that Pleiades Liu has once again used his sword skills to attract the attention of the judges...

Even after seeing Dongshan Lobster before, some of the audience who couldn't help but ridicule, all gritted their teeth and silenced.

However, just after Liu Maoxing peeled off the three lobsters, facing Santuo, the lobster meat that had been removed from the sand and still showed the shape of a lobster, he was mashed!

Obviously the previous sword skills were just a show...
